31. The Shire Horse

I love good old English pubs like The Shire Horse. It’s quite an old inn, not one of these new ones that try to look as if they’re 500 years old.

No, it’s a genuine, good English pub.

32. The Six Bells Hungry Horse

One of the best things about pubs serving pub grub is that they can then become family friendly destinations.

33. Sizzling Spice

Sizzling Spice used to be known as Sizzling Wok and it built a good reputation for its Thai cusine.

34. Miah’s Saffron

Steve Coppell and I finally have something in common.

35. Wee Waif

Some pubs you just seem to drive past time and time again but never manage to stop off for a pint.

36. The Moderation

The formerly dingy Moderation has had a fresh lease of life thanks to new leaseholder Andy Becalick.

37. Waterfall

My sister has been known to travel back from Birmingham for what she calls a Waterfalls.

38. The Frog & Wicket

If you were given a kit to design your own traditional English pub, you couldn’t come up with much better than The Frog & Wicket.

39. The Raj Tandoori

The Raj Tandoori in Emmer Green has been in business for 13 years now and it seems it’s something of a well-kept secret in the area – around 95 per cent of the restaurant’s custom comes from local residents, who return time and time again.

40. Miah’s Spencers Wood

How do you fancy dining with the stars?
